Stuttgart set €40m asking price for Bilal El Khannouss amid transfer interest

VfB Stuttgart could consider selling Bilal El Khannouss in the January transfer window if a suitable offer arrives for the Moroccan international.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has regained an important role in Sebastian Hoeness’ side in recent weeks, but his future at the Bundesliga club is reportedly not entirely guaranteed.

According to Sky Germany, Stuttgart would be willing to discuss a potential departure if interested clubs meet their valuation of approximately €40 million, including bonuses.

El Khannouss only joined Stuttgart permanently from Leicester City last summer in a deal worth €15 million. His contract runs until 2030, while reports from Bild suggest it contains a €75 million release clause.

Galatasaray are among the clubs reportedly monitoring his situation and considering a possible move.

Stuttgart reportedly value the Moroccan international at €40 million, including bonuses. Meanwhile, Bild claims his contract contains a €75 million release clause.

El Khannouss previously rejected several opportunities to leave Stuttgart, explaining that the available offers did not convince him.

“There were offers, but they weren’t the right ones,” the midfielder said, reaffirming his commitment to the Bundesliga side and his development plan.

Jamie Leweling could also be available, with Bild reporting that Stuttgart would consider offers of around €30 million for the German international.
